Why microgreens are green?
Microgreens are harvested at a very early stage of growing, typically when their first set of true leaves appear. At this stage, they are particularly rich in chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for capturing light energy from the sun during photosynthesis, a process by which plants convert light, water, and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars. This process is crucial for plant growth and development.
Vibrant green color is a good sign. Sign that they are healthy and full of nutrients.
